Help with XSPF playlist (< vlc : option> xxxx)

Postby IndioB » 25 Mar 2016 02:12

Hi!

I used "<vlc:option>audio-track=0</vlc:option>"
and sub-track=0 option (thanks mederi) in xspf files successfully, with .VOB, .AVI, etc..

But don't work :

1ª. - <vlc:option>crop=4:3</vlc:option> or crop=16:9

2ª. - <extension app...st/0"><vlc:id>0</vlc:id><vlc:option>aspect-ratio=4:3</vlc:option></extension>

3ª. - <vlc:option>fullscreen=1</vlc:option>, <vlc:option>fullscreen=on</vlc:option> or <vlc:option>fullscreen</vlc:option> :roll:

I would greatly appreciate assistance.
Thank you!

Yes, some options are not available to playlist, for security reasons.

Ah!, ok, thanks for the clarification.
It sounds like 1984. Sacrifices for safety ... ;-)

I too have discovered that options within the playlist are limited but I found a workaround. Load the options you want directly from the command line or the target line (shortcut properties). Here is an example of how I pre-loaded the 10 band EQ from within the shortcut.
Original shortcut - properties - Target "E:\PlayLists\xxxx xxxx.xspf"
Change the Target to "C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --audio-filter equalizer --equalizer-bands="-4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5" "E:\PlayLists\xxxx xxxx.xspf"
Quotes around E:\PlayLists\xxxx xxxx.xspf are needed because of the space in the file name.
You will need to do a search for your specific need, example: vlc command line crop. You seem familiar with syntax and code so you should be able figure it out.
I have also noticed from this post and many others, replies are somewhat LESS than helpful and don't even offer a workaround. I hope mine is NOT one of those.

Would you be so kind as to point us to a location that lists the options that are available to playlist?

Thank you!

It depends on the version, the operating system, the installed plugins... so it's kinda hard to keep an exhaustive list.
